>> you know, the interesting thing to me is that everybody was talking about jim when it was over, and i paid no attention to him simply because i'm sitting there writing down where i saw holes in their arguments thinking, oh, this would be good, oh, this would be a good follow-up, oh, what happened here? that kind of thing. i wasn't as sort of tuned in. i was in the debate hall, so that's, as you know, kind of a wholly different thing. what i take from it is that they certainly are both going to take whatever time they feel they can get to put their views out. i get it. this is an important debate. i think there are times when the time structures drive people crazy. you know, it's kind of what they agreed on. you know, obviously at some point you need to take control, but i don't think you take control because you can or you should, but i think you take control because you want the conversation to move and not kind of be stuck on it. >> all right. well, we know you will take control. you will handle both of them very well. candy, good to see you, as always. >> good to see you, suzanne
